Everyone wore green in downtown Nutley today during the township’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

"Today we’re Irish," said Linda Morrison of Nutley, who dressed in matching green leg warmers and hats with her partner, John Jablonski.

Jablonski said the pair gets dolled up in their emerald gear for the parade every year.

"We just enjoy it," he said. "We like to have fun."

For Victoria Palmieri, 11, of Nutley, the parade is just as much about hanging with her friends as it is about pride.

"It’s for my heritage," said Palmieri, adding that her mom painted shamrocks on her cheek for the festivities.

Family members of 78-year-old Isabelle Hauer were in the parade this year but that’s not the only reason why the longtime Nutley native, who isn’t Irish, came outside to watch it.

"I’m just here to support everybody," said Hauer. "I’ve lived here all my life, so every time there’s a parade I’m out here. My parents used to take me and I’ve been doing it ever since."

This year was Adeline Alipui’s first parade. Her mom, Rachel Alipui, said she decided to bring her two-year-old girl — and her one-year-old brother, Benjamin — to the neighborhood parade so they could finally experience what one looked like. Plus, it was a nice way to get out of the house, she said.

As Adeline sat on her folding chair collecting candy from the passersby, her loved ones likened her to a princess sitting on her throne.

When asked what she liked best about the St. Patrick’s Day parade, she only had two words.
